    - PowerPoint2007 - AutoRecovery Not Working Howdy, Auto recovery feature is turned on, but it fails to capture latest data (within 5min). We tested this with XP SP2/SP3 and Vista SP1. Not having same issue with Word or Excel 2007. In addition documents that we composed were in pure PowerPoint 2007 and in compatibility mode. Either way when PPTX crashed we can't recover document(s). When I go back to look if the Auto recovery feature is enable, it is not - this is the puzzling piece. How can I ensure that it stays on? Is there something that we do that causes to turn its self off? This defeats the purpose of having auto recovery if you can use it. Please suggest a way to troubleshoot this issue. Office SP1, Vista SP1 and latest and greatest are installed. Tag: Animating Bullet Points within a Text Box Tag: 394243

    - Fill effect is transparent, but print is not Power Point 2003. On top of a JPG image a put a box that is filled with color. The top box is tranparent with some fill effect so that it looks like the image underneath it is edited that way. Looks great on presentation, but print preview and printing (color) does not include the transparency effect. HP printer is networked but settings seem OK. I set the printer to PDF writer and have the same issue. Thanks for any help. Tag: Animating Bullet Points within a Text Box Tag: 394241

    - Smooth point vs. straight point When you edit points in an object, you have the option of adding or changing a point to be a corner, smooth, or straight point. I understand the difference between the corner point and the other two. However, I'm struggling to see any big differences between the smooth and straight point options. Does someone know what the difference is and under what circumstances I should use one over the other? Tag: Animating Bullet Points within a Text Box Tag: 394184

    - Lines and Text Boxes - Functionality Question I want to create a flow diagram and link various decision and process boxes with lines which have text in them - e.g. a line coming from a decision diamond with a label YES on it and connected to a process box. I have browsed several posts and I am now under the impression that it is not possible to have a single line with text on it. This seems amazing - given that Powerpoint has gobbled up Visio and Visio supported such functionality. I have tried the idea of grouping a line, a text box and then another line together but find that this is unwieldy. Could a MVP please confirm my fears or point me in the right direction, please?

    - Video Editing software for PowerPoint usage Our agency is researching video software to use in converting and editing video clips for use in PowerPoint shows for our execs. Typically, these are ready-made videos we get from elsewhere (not in-house creations or camera work) and occasionally we need to repurpose them so they'll play correctly in PPT or shorten their length. We use PPT2003. Our needs are basic but may grow as we get more comfortable using video clips in our presentations. Any recommendations? Thank you!

    - .pps opens as a .ppt in Powerpoint 2002. Hi, Using PowerPoint 2002, I store my slideshows in the My Documents folder. If, to retrieve a slideshow, I start PowerPoint | File | Open, My Documents is displayed. When I open a .pps file from this My Documents window the slideshow comes up in .ppt mode instead. This anomaly applies to all the stored .pps files. If instead, I go to My Documents directly and open a .pps file, the slideshow starts up as we'd expect from a .pps. This behaviour has just started now. An explanation, and better still a remedy, would be much appreciated. Thank you. Andy I.

    - How to print white font (blue background slides) on black/white? Hello, I copied and pasted Excel tables into Powerpoint. Since my slide's background color is blue, I have to format fonts and gridlines in white color. When I print the slides using the pure black/white option, none of my data shows (off course).

    - Re-display text after it's dimmed Hey everyone, PPT 2003 I set up custom animation to DIM the text after animating, so each bullet will turn gray when I display the next one. How do I RE-display that dimmed text when I'm done? In other words, when I reach the end of the slide, I want all of the bullet points to turn black again so people can see them and ask questions on them. I tried adding an "emphasis" effect that changes the font color back to black, but it doesn't work - the text stays gray. So I'm hoping someone has a way. Thanks so much!

    - Cant Open .PPT File I'm attempting to open an old power point file. When I double click on the file, I get the message "The path or file name for A:\STUB.PPT is Invalid. Please check that the path and file name are correct". The file path and name are OK. When I attempt to open the file from within Power Point, I get the message "You are attempting to open a file type that is blocked by your registry policy setting". I'm using Power point R 2003(11.8227.8202) SP3. I'm running XP Professional SP3. I get identical results when trying to open a copy of the file from my hard drive. The file was probably created using a version of Power Point prior to R 2003. The file is no longer available, so I can't get a new copy. Any suggestions?

    - Trouble Embedding a .wav file to play across slides Hello all, I've been having a bit of a problem embedding a .wav file to play across slides. Here's what I've tried: 1. I've set the max sound file size to 50,000 KB 2. Inserted the .wav sound file (size 2,771 KB) It plays just fine here and PowerPoint Options show that it is an embedded sound file [contained in presentation]. 3. Next, I checked the option "Hide Sound Icon During Slide Show" and set to play the sound "Across Slides" The sound file played the first time during the presentation; however when I saved, closed, and reopened the presentation the sound file would not play in presentation mode or when clicking the sound icon. All the settings remained the same. PowerPoint still can "see" the sound file as being contained in the presentation. It just won't play. If you'd like to try this yourself on your own computer, the sound file I'm using is one from the MS Clip Organizer called "Fiber Optics" Any ideas as to why or how this is happening would be greatly appreciated.
